While I get Chrome in pink, it's not a problem as it only happens when swiping between tabs. Tabs are fine otherwise.

I'm using CM9 all the time now. I find that battery life is ok - I get about 1.5 days out of a full charge with normal use.

I'm using Chrome as my default browser and it's working fine.

I love that quick unlock now works as well as the percentage battery.

I use the rear camera to take photos of drawings on whiteboards and it's fine for that, even with the bit of corruption you get (less in landscape than portrait). I also use photos with location enabled to navigate to places, and this also works fine.

Networking works fine for me, but them I only use wifi and 3G and I don't use tethering or USB tethering.

So, apart from the occasional FC in 4EXT and random other programs, I'm very happy with this ROM.

I love the ICS phone dialer, the new email clients (Email and Gmail), the ICS calendar and its widget.

Music is fine on the standard player (I've not had an FC on it).

I use GO Launcher because it has circular scrolling and customisable grids (I use 5x5).

Same thing on virtuous quattro. Not tested CM9. I guess you came from quattro / a previous CM9 alpha without a full wipe. Try a full wipe. I think it's an adreno lib issue.

USB tethering with some problems

It made my pc lose android phone driver when I turn off tethering.

The driver will be restore when I restart my phone.

I don't know it's problem with my pc or other reasons?
[HTC Desire S] crescal:
for image corruption, you may try other camera apps such as camera360 and vignette, they work fine for me.

and i don't see any pink glitches in chrome in the new build by nexx
[HTC Desire S] Selimov:
i see pink glithes)
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
Clean install of latest Nexx ROM still produces same pink transition between tabs in Chrome Beta.

market

Hy guys, nice work !

I tried previous version of yours 4.0.3 cm rom on my desire s and i hadnt seen market app!

On this version, is market installed? tnx
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
This is cyanogen, you need to flash the gapps after flashing the ROM to get market.

Pink glitches also present here at chrome.

[HTC Desire S] nk111:
I doubt that pink issue is rom related. Google it. It seems to be present elsewhere too. If you are on quattro... please be sure if you really tried the horizontal tab swipe... this is where the pink shows up. Took me a while to even find this feature...
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Latest cm9. Only pink when opening new tab. Switching between tabs without problems
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
true, the pink screen is only there.

btw guys it wont let me to add my fb account so i can sync my contacts,

any ideas?

[11 FEB 12] build face unlock not working

I first downloaded and installed the build and Google apps from nk111 and there face unlock worked - even without preview, it worked really good :)

Now I just installed the [11 FEB 12] build with the new gApps from the first page and face unlock doesn't work anymore.

I can enter the setup, but it keeps saying 'Put your face here', with a red box below telling 'Show your face'. Nothing else happens. With nk111's build, it would start processing the image.

I then reset all camera apps to default, cleared data and cache, switched to front cam in Camera app (steps I did before to get it to work), but no result.

Then, I flashed nk111 gApps + face unlock again on my phone, cleared all again but still nothing.

For the rest, the new ROM seems good. Finally it solved the problem that when disabling WIFI, my phone would not switch to data connection. I had to go into airplane mode and back to get data on. That is now solved it seems.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
OK. I got the idea. Right, when sliding tabs there is a pink thing on Quattro too. But in this case is either something Google Chrome related or there is something related to all ICS ROMs
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Yep, but for me it says "face unlock could not be started". Resulting in impossibility to use it too :-)
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
I've got the same face unlock problem
[HTC Desire S] hippihippo:
I've also got the face unlock problem after upgrading to Nexx's build. Just in the process of backing up all my crap to do a full wipe install. Hopefully that'll sort it. :)

Other than that this ROM keeps getting more awesome. Kudos to Nexx and nk111. :)

[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Forgive me if this is already posted, but how do I even access the face unlock feature?
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
I dont know.

Updated to nexx latest build, updated gapps from 1st post and rom feels, like more slower. Live wall is closing, exchanged for static image... Face unlock (asi described) not worked. I cant push there red button...
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
settings > security > screen lock > face unlock
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
But it actually does not work in latest release.

btw. my battery went from 100% to 35% in less than 4 hours. Quite heavy usage, but display brightness at lowest.
[HTC Desire S] GelullaBarr:
the rom it's kul, i like it, but the battery consumption is very high, and I don't see wifi direct and web streaming it's not working, i tried gsp.ro live and sport.ro live on stock browser, dolphin hd(it's working about 5 sec and then it's stoping), chrome beta( chrome requires adobe flash player, but i already installed).thank you for your work guys.
[HTC Desire S] crescal:
perhaps you should try to install daemon controller with andrev_oc so that you can underclock your device while sleeping
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Maybe you misunderstood but I used it really heavy in that 4 hours. There was no sleeping time :-)

But over night (when I slept and my device too :-) it drained about 8 percent. So I'm gonna try your suggestion anyways.
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
Mhm can somebody explain why Wifi Icon is always grey instead of blue. At Virtuous Quattro it was only a few seconds grey.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Because you maybe flashed only the ROM not also the additional GAPPS package. CM ROMs do not include GAPPS by default, should be flashed separately. No GAPPS = no connection to Google services = no "blue" WiFi/Signal. Those are blue only when phone is linked and connected to Google services.
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
Nope I flashed it with Gapps
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Is your connection working properly and did you set up your Google account?

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
Yes it's working. I used Titanium to restore my Google Account. But I think this is no problem.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Does it synchronize new data? Because without colored signal you shouldn't be logged in, delete it and add it the normal way, system data shouldn't be restored with titanium, this can cause issues and at the case of the Google account there is no need for it, because all is synchronized with the cloud ;)

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
But how can I backup my SMS.
[HTC Desire S] sirioo:
SMS Backup & Restore
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Search for SMS backup & restore, in the market.

Or

Use Go SMS Pro (it has a similar Backup and Restore feature), it's a great App!
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
Ok thanks. I deleted my Account and add it again. It synchronized all but icon is still grey. Maybe it's missing :D

Are there any other important things wich are not synchronizing with my Google Account except SMS.

Edit: S**t so now I have restore my apps with Titanium
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Contatcs & Calendar are synchronized only if you have them saved as Google Contacts & Google Calendar, respectively.

Also, try downloading Titanium Backup Pro, for a quick restore of all apps.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Are you able to download apps from the market? Because if yes, then you should have a connection to the 'Google cloud'.

And for the next time, it's definitely safe to backup your SMS with Titanium Backup. They're in no way connected to your Google account, so they have absolutely no influence on your issue from my point of view.

And yeah, for easy backup and restore, I'd highly recommend Titanium Backup pro too!
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
I use Titanium Backup Pro. But I thought it's not recommended to restore System Data.

Maybe somebody has a bit time to explain me how to restore data after a full wipe.

Edit: ok everything is back for the moment. ;) Only two restarts and all the apps are back. That's Android!! :D

Yes I can download apps but still no blue icon.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Click on the menu button in Titanium Backup, then "Batch", then choose the restore option you want... restore all apps with data, and you're all set! It's that easy! ;) Don't forget to restart afterwards.

If you restore Email accounts, you'll need to activate synchronisation again in the system settings menu.

Like I said above, I personally have never had trouble with restoring system settings with TB, however, it's possible that something can mess your system up.

If you want to backup SMS and MMS, just choose "[SMS/MMS/APN] Telefon-/SMS-Speicher"

The torch app is missing. This means the torch toggle doesn't work on the status bar..
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
OK thx so I will do it like I did it before. :)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Download a torch app from market. Works very well. But still no icon on status bar
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
Yes my emails are shown.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Here's the torch.apk from Virtuous Quattro. I assume it should work if you install it as a system app via adb.
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
Yes apk works.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Apk is working, but at the toggle is the cyanogen app linked, because of this it's still not present.

Or maybe the toggle is because it's not ready atm disabled.

Thx anyway.

[HTC Desire S] Frostbeule2k:
I´ve tested the latest version yesterday.

- After flashing the rom I´ll get three times a bootloop. Befor the bootloop appears I´ll get the message that some applications must be optimized. After optimizing the phone boots and there was loop. Pull the battery out and in solved it.

- If I´ll get a call the phone does not ring. All settings are on loud...
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Didn't face any of your problems, but got a hint for you: NEVER PULL BATTERY AT RUNNING SYSTEM USE VOL+ VOL- AND POWER INSTEAD, otherwise you can brick your device.

If you need to get to recovery or bootloader without having a desktop by hand, restart with three finger salute and pull the battery at the small delay between the shutdown and startup, but NEVER PULL IT AT RUNNING OR BOOTING SYSTEM.

Sry for the capitlas, but it's a little annoying, because this is allready stated about a million times at this forum.
[HTC Desire S] bl4ckb1rd:
yes i agree

and you could also try to adb reboot recovery from pc to enter recovery mode
[HTC Desire S] Frostbeule2k:
Thank you Tectas, I´ll dont know that I can reboot my phone in a loop with these key combination.

[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Weird. Have you tried switching from mobile data to WiFi or vice versa and seeing if it works (on T-Mob UK)?
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
I tried everything, this was the only thing that worked. It actually works when I spoof it as any provider, even other UK ones. But when I go back to default..hangs
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Hope it works for you :)

And don't forget to thank enigmaamit here for this great finding ;)
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Once hardware accelerated video encoding/decoding is working, will that fix the video recording as well, or is video recording a separate issue?

Could supercharger for ics be incorporated in cm9? Looks beyond me.

Also there's an article in the first post which claims that free memory is not wasted and explains how Linux handles memory. I thought it was quite interesting as I've heard many tell me that free memory is wasted memory.

Sorry for getting off-topic
[HTC Desire S] Durdy:
I had the market problem, I just restarted with an app stalled downloading and it started once the phone had booted up again :)

2 other bugs I've found though...:

1) I got jumbled up/ messy text rendering in the message app (completely un-readable), I had to restart to fix.

2) Sometimes, when the phone boots up, app icons don't load no matter how long you wait. You have to remove and re-add them to make them display again.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
I believe the two are mostly unrelated, if the camera only relied on OMX support being fixed then the preview / etc would work it just wouldn't record. As for OMX, well that's a real mess right now and I'm not sure if there's active work being done or if we're stuck waiting for msm7x30 3.0 kernel sources to be released.

Highly unlikely, if people want to put stuff like this on their phones after installing CM9 then that's up to them, but I wouldn't expect to see it merged into the core code, or added to these releases. Sorry.

1) Known issue, it's to do with the kernel issues I believe.

2) I've had that once, Trebuchet crashed shortly after and when it came back all the icons were there. It's unfortunately part-and-parcel of using alpha quality ROMs.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
That's ok. I've made the changes necessary and once i've tested it i will upload if anyone wants it.

EDIT: just remembered I'm using quattro and not sure if services.jar can be interchanged so I posted in quattro thread instead. Sorry
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
I noticed something quirky when using the front camera. If you turn the phone sideways, no matter which way you turn it, the picture is always upside down.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
We're not currently sending settings to the FFC because of a crash after you reboot, this also means we're not sending the setting telling it that it's reversed. It's known and being worked on ;)
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:

from 100 to 44 in 8 hours with average texting, any ideas why is that..?

i thought battery on CM9 would be better than endymions' but...

i hope i wont be switching back to Sense before Sense 4.0 :p :p
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I can confirm that the face unlock feature worked out of the box on nk111 build.

But no matter how hard I try (different light, different angles, closeup, one hand distance, hanging from the sealing, etc.) unfortunately it is not working on Nexx's build.

Probably the next release will fix this issue.

Also I hope that the Endevour Sense 4.0 leak will bring some improvements (yes I know it is for Tegra devices) but still may bring some info to the devs :)

[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Oops I mis-read as 20110111

I know that a reversed camera image when switching to front camera used to happen on the older builds so not sure why it's happening for you. Did you wipe cache and dalvik? If you did, try a clean install maybe.
[HTC Desire S] smarti13:
more battery drain than in REVOLVER..... or endymion :-(
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
No problems here
[HTC Desire S] casaben:
Maybe install SystemPanelLite Task Manager to identify what's causing the drain ? Or even simpler : what does the battery usage breakup tell you ?

I had this before too, and for me it was that I disabled in my Exchange account settings to download attachments on WIFI (I thought it would prevent attachments from downloading), but I found out that it downloads attachments over the data connection in that case (in older versions, you could select whether to download attachments or not, now you can only select to download on WIFI or data). It took some hours to sync it and I only noticed because my battery drained a lot in only a couple of hours.

Do you get any improvement when disabling your data connection, or when disabling syncing accounts ?

With me, battery life is pretty good up until now. If only using WIFI, I loose 1-2% per hour when phone is idle, on data (3G) that's 5%
[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
You can delete DSP manager it is the main sours of Battery drain in CM ROM. I am always remove it.

Another method from me :)

Download ES File Explorer (highly recommend this free app it has great features) from Market

Open it, grant root permissions, press Menu -> Settings, scroll down and check "Mount File System"

Then navigate to Favourites, phone icon (root symbol - /), system folder, then app folder, long press on DPSManager.apk -> Delete

Then uncheck "Mount File System" from the setting

P.S.: the same can be done with any file manager with root permission

Hi!

First of all: Great work! For an Alpha version it runs almost perfect for me. I noticed the following things. Maybe somebody can confirm.

1.) CamFlash not working (independend of used App)

2.) Flashlight toggle not appearing in notification drawer, even though it is activated.

3.) Lock screen: Screen-timeout-delay of ?mins works, but screen-turned-off-dealy of ?mins does not have any effect. Turning off the screen immediately locks the phone.

4.) Internet (SIP) call numbers cannot be marked as default for a contact (only mobile, office, home, etc.)

I hope this feedbacks helps somehow! :)
